Ecology Action

Ecology Action is a small non-profit organization based in Austin, Texas, with 5 to 9 employees. Established in 1969, the organization has been dedicated to promoting landfill diversion and raising awareness about zero waste practices in the Austin area and beyond. Ecology Action focuses on transforming waste products into valuable resources. They achieve this by processing waste materials to their highest and best use. The organization also actively engages with local youth and the community through educational programs. Furthermore, they continually strive to innovate and expand their recycling capabilities, tackling increasingly difficult-to-recycle waste streams. Ecology Action played a pivotal role in shaping modern waste management practices in Austin. Their pioneering work in developing grassroots recycling solutions paved the way for city-wide curbside recycling, the City of Austin Universal Recycling Ordinance, and the City of Austin Zero Waste Initiative.
